Auditory display encompasses research on sonification, the sound
equivalent of data visualization, as well as computer interfaces, multimedia,
virtual reality, and high-dimensional simulations.
Continuing the work of the successful ICAD '92 meeting, ICAD '94 was
a forum for presenting cutting-edge research in the field. Focus was on
auditory displays, and the array of perception, technology, and application
areas these encompass. Topics included auditory exploration of data via
sonification and audification; sound in immersive interfaces and teleoperation;
real-time monitoring of multivariate data; and data handling and sound
synthesis for auditory display systems. Hardware and software demos.
Attendance was open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.
